Like I said on the other post - I'd ask HIM to make an input and tell you what names he likes - maybe then you can find a compromise.

I've got a similar problem - but mine is that our baby's name HAS to be a joint decision and anything my OH dislikes he says "NO" to.

Its no good me being stubborn and saying "I'm calling him that anyway" - it would just result in massive rows!

The names my OH has come up with so far are, Clementine, Henrietta and Octavia!!!! Cant say any of them would be my first choice, but I'm picking a boys name so it's all about compromise.

Oooh I really like them - especially Octavia!!! I did Ancient History at Uni and love Roman sounding names like that!

Don' t mind me I'm just weird

Maybe he would like it if it was :

Mya (pronounced My-ah)

I assume Mia is pronounced Mee-ah. Right?

Or how about adding a hyphen or a name to Mia.

Like Mia-lynn or Myami (lol).

Or use it as a middle name?

I knew a girl named Octavia. She went by Tavia. Beautiful.

Yeah thats what I thought. I have always thought Mia was pronounced "Mee-ah" and Leah is "Lee-ah"

If you want the name to be prnounced as "My-ah" I think it might be easier to spell it something like Maya (I know a German girl called Maya, her name is pronounced My-ah) as that will prevent people pronouncing it wrongly.

I think most people would pronounce Leah as "Lee-ah", not sure on this but you might want to look at the spelling if you want it to be specifically "Lee".

You could even spell Leah like Leigh, if you want it to look a bit different. I think Maia-Leigh looks pretty.

If heis anything like my DH would soon speak up if he didnt like a name,but could make no suggestion of his own.
Dont worry though my DH hated Jayden until he was born...but that is what we called him....once you have just given birth you seem to get a new power over your fella well I did.

i told him if i didn't find another name i was keeping it but he still stood his ground, can't blame him tho, don't want him having a daughter with a name he doesn't like. Get my 2nd scan in 4 wks n think it'll be alot easier if we find out it's a boy lol x
